    Beautiful pictures yet again! This is one of my favorite times in the garden - just before it gets completely out of control!

    Shiney - is your allium a 'schubertii'?

    http://images.google.co.uk/images?svnum=10&hl=en&gbv=2&q=allium+schubertii&btnG=Search+Images

    Absolutely splendid specemin! I must look out for it.

    I have chives, and welsh leeks and something like your siculum (or maybe I just got the name wrong!), and some sperozephelum (sp?), but my favorites are some mad little squggily ones, which are just in bud at the moment. No idea of the name, but will post pics when they're out.

    Just love all these pics of your garden!
